Could you share an hour a week with Refilwe?

An hour a week, a chat, and a cup of tea - that is all Refilwe is asking for.

Mthatha
I'm writing for my neighbor Refilwe, who's 76. Refilwe lives alone in Mthatha, and lost a son last year. The nearest family lives 467 kilometers away. Refilwe loves old films, and would enjoy someone to chat with. An hour a week, perhaps on Thursday afternoon, would mean the world. We can also arrange a phone call if you can't visit in person. All visitors will be introduced by me and I'll be there at the first meeting. I'll share references and, if you'd like, a short orientation from the local befriending charity. No special skills are needed - just kindness and patience. If you can't give, please share this page. It does reach people.
